Additional Facts and Characteristics

We aim to support the personal as well as academic growth of our students. To this end rhetoric, emotional and financial intelligence, critical thinking and ethics are included throughout each student's studies. The average number of students per class is twenty-four and the timetable extends beyond the basic requirements of 31 hours per week.

From sexta, students choose their branch of specialised studies:

Humanitarian Branch
Scientific Branch (Natural Sciences)
Information Technology Branch

Language teaching has been fully implemented in all priority areas. Special assignments and projects are undertaken by students to enhance their learning experience. Besides taking exams, to pass from lower to upper grammar school, students must also create projects which factor into their graduating exam. At the end of each academic year exceptional students are considered for PSJG’s scholarship programme. Each year our school donates around 6 000 € to reward excelent students’s results.

The school provides wireless, high-speed internet without data transfer restrictions. Every student has a free access to the facility during his or her studies. It is the student‘s duty to ensure they have access to the internet outside of school for homework as well.

Performance of each student is regularly evaluated to ensure the students and their parents are fully aware of results, progress and achievements in all evaluated areas.

Students from the Information Technology branch must pass certified ECDL (European Computer Driving Licence) and MCAS (Microsoft Certified Application Specialist) exams. Students from different branches may take the IT tests voluntarily.

The High Quality Competence in English Language

International language exams (City&Guilds) are our standard tools to measure each students‘s actual competency level. Up to twelve hours per week are reserved for English teaching. Teaching of other subjects in English starts also soon and at much larger scale than at other schools. Students can also opt to take MCAS exam (Microsoft Certified Application Specialist) in English as an addition to their information technology studies. Foreign students study togehter with native students in the classes of our 6-year grammar school. To support this, the Czech language is taught intensively to foreign students.
